I would very much appreciate your feedback to my profile:
EDUCATION
BA in Public Policy from NESCAC college (2004) (GPA: 3.7)
Masters in Public Health from Yale University (2007) (GPA: NA)
Asian-American woman
GMAT score: projecting 670
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Currently employed as a healthcare consultant in large benefits consulting firm. Serve as project manager for multiple Fortune 50 companies responsible for day to day client relationships as well as managing internal teams. Learning sales process.
WHY MBA?
I very much like the business of consulting and would like to move from benefits consulting to management consulting for a firm such as McKinsey, Bain, BCG, etc. I have a strong background in health policy and administration but believe I need general management training to successfully make this move.
I am interested in Tuck, Johnson, Sloan and HBS. What do you anticipate my chances are at these schools- what other schools do you suggest I consider? What skills should I focus on? Thanks very much!

Any of the top 16 schools will probably do if you're looking purely at it from a career perspective -- obvious the top 8 will make it easier for you to get into these firms like Kellogg, Sloan, Stanford, Columbia, Chicago, HBS, Wharton and Tuck.
To narrow down your list to 5 or 6 (don't apply to more than that, or else you will dilute your efforts across too many schools) -- it's a matter of personal preferences - small vs. big school (in terms of total student body), regions (west coast vs. northeast vs. southeast vs. midwest - even at top schools alums tend to "settle down" within the same region as their b-school), locale (city vs. suburb vs. rural), and student culture (varies from school to school). All of these impact what you get out of the experience more than anything else, since you'll learn more or less the same thing at any b-school, and you'll get roughly the same kinds of career opportunities.
Also, your chances come down to how well you execute the application *and* how well you do on the GMAT -- a high GMAT won't get you in, but a low GMAT can keep you out. In your case, shoot for 680 or greater (and ideally above 700 to be safe). If your GMAT is in range, you should be competitive enough for any of the top schools that your target schools should be a matter of personal preference.
